Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Thinking about joining the military

To some it may sound sillly, but I really want to see just how good I can be, and I'm thinking about joining special forces. Does anyone know how you join one of the special forces groups, what all special forces groups are out there, or just any information on the subject. I'm interested in how fit I should be before I sign up, as well as how you join them (Do I tell my officer I want to go special forces after I've had combat experience or when I'm enlisting.)

I was thinking about joining the Marines, but they're batshit nuts.
Then I was thinking Navy, but I can't swim.
Then I thought Air Force, but I'm afraid of heights.
Then I was like, "Fuck that. I don't feel like being in the army and getting shot at."

I can't see without my glasses, haven't been able to since I was little. I never took them off, so I never went swimming. And I just got contacts last summer.
I should correct myself: I can swim, but really really badly.

you don't really need to see to swim

i mean, it's nice to see what's ahead of you

but it's not necessary

When I say, "I can't see," I mean I really can't see. Like, a foot away, and that shit's pretty blurry.
I'd rather be dry than blind.
Like I said, I can swim a little. Like, enough to stay afloat while they pulled me into a boat. Any distance? Not so much.

Weird thing is, a lot of applicants to SEALS in recent years have mentioned that game a shitton.

My mom's friend's nephew, David, is a SEAL. I guess a few years back, she asked him what he did, and he said "I could tell you but I'd have to kill you." She starts laughing, and he goes, "No, seriously. If I told you, I'd have to kill you. You can't know what I do."
I was like, "Whoa. Awesome."
